Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After a warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the sidelines.

Looking at the listlessness and lack of fighting spirit of his players, Coach Luke frowned, but he could only smile bitterly. Just a few words were useless, he tried.

He even scolded him, hoping to use the aggressive method to inspire the players' fighting spirit, but the result still failed.

No matter what the method is, after all, it must be based on reality. If the gap between the two sides is not large, encouraging or stimulating the law can have good results.

But when the gap between the two sides is too large, these will not work.

"Okay, let's go." Coach Luke made a simple arrangement, signaling the players to come on the court.

The playoffs are a series mode. In this mode, the two sides have to play at least 4 games, and there is enough time to understand each other, analyze the opponent's tactics, and then respond accordingly.

So in the playoffs, there may be one or two games where tactics will influence the game, but in most cases, after a few games, everyone already knows enough about each other, and the tactics and tactics that should be used are all out.

There are no more secrets, and the game can only rely on hard power.

This also ensures the gold content of the playoffs to a certain extent, and there will be no saying that a team will win the series because of good luck, or because of a good game, or a surprising tactical victory.

So after three games, Coach Luke used everything he could. The difference between the two sides was the difference in strength, and he was helpless.

"beep......"

The game officially begins.

The 76ers still have Nene, Speights, Brand, Iverson and Qin Hao.

The Bulls are still their regular season starter, Noah, Boozer, Rolle Deng, Bogans, Rose.

The first jump ball, the Bulls got the ball, Ross held the ball to the frontcourt and saw Qin Hao come forward, their eyes met, Ross couldn't help raising his eyebrows, a little surprised: "So many players in the 76ers have lost their fighting spirit. , I didn't expect you to give up yet."

This made Ross's impression of Qin Hao even better.

But at this time on the field, as opponents to each other, he would not release water.

I saw Ross nodding at Qin Hao, then asked for a pick-and-roll, got rid of Qin Hao and then broke through, guarding the inside and quickly making up defenses. However, apart from Qin Hao, Iverson and Nene, Speights and Brand are not very motivated to fight, and their defense is not very good.

Whoosh!

Ross scored the ball and passed it to Rolle Deng. Rolle Deng glanced at Brand and saw that Brand didn't rush in the first time. He chuckled and made a jump shot.

Swish!

The ball is scored, and the Bulls go to the next city first.

This ball, Brand's defense was not in place, and he was very inactive. Qin Hao frowned, and Coach Luke on the sidelines was also a little unhappy. It was one thing to not be able to prevent it, but it was another thing to prevent it carefully.

In fact, Brand's performance since entering the playoffs has not been very good. It is completely different from his performance in the regular season, and it is not at the same level at all.

In the regular season, Brand played very well, averaging 16 points per game.

But in the playoffs, after three playoff games, Brand averaged only 9.4 points per game, less than 10 points, and the data shrunk by half, not to mention other aspects.

such as defense.

Rolle Deng, who faced Brand, averaged 21.4 points per game in these three games. Rolle Deng is excellent, but Brand is to blame for getting so many points.

After that, Qin Hao made a breakthrough and smashed the inside line, causing Boozer's foul. Although the ball failed to score, Qin Hao walked to the free throw line and made two free throws and scored two points.

But Qin Hao was not happy, instead he frowned.

"It seems that the Bulls really want to lock Qin, and they would rather foul than let him score."

"Yeah. After three games, only Qin has played the best. The Bulls are not stupid. They will definitely target Qin. They know that as long as Qin is restrained, the 76ers will be finished."

In the audience, fans were talking.

The fans of the 76ers are worried, even they can see the intention of the Bulls, but the 76ers can't do anything about it, they can't defend against it, and no one can stand up on offense.

......

Swish!

With a soft sound, it was Luoer Deng who scored again.

Or Brand's defense was not in place. He only played four minutes in the first quarter, and he had already let Rolle Deng get 6 points, which was a loophole.

"Substitution." Coach Luke asked for a substitution with a dark face, replacing Brand and replacing Thaddeus Young.

Before Coach Luke thought that Brand was playing in the playoffs for the first time, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous and it would take some time to get used to it. However, after two games a game and three games, Brand not only failed to adapt to the playoffs and regained his form, but it got worse and worse.

It really shouldn't be.

Now even the defense is not active.

Since you are not active and focused, you don't have to fight.

"Anyway, the big deal is to lose." Coach Luke is also very straightforward. Anyway, in the current situation, there is not much difference between you and Brand, so he is not used to you.

Brand was replaced and sat on the bench in a muffled voice, his eyes were a little hollow. It wasn't that he didn't want to play well, but he didn't know what was going on. In the playoffs, he felt very uncomfortable playing.

Some players do have this situation. They played well in the regular season and the statistics are very good, but they will not be able to do it in the playoffs.

on the field.

The game continues...

The Bulls are still double-teaming Qin Hao, frantically restricting Qin Hao, and even if they give other players of the 76ers some chances, they don't care.

For the 76ers, this should have been an exploitable point, but the reality is that Qin Hao is restricted. Without his scoring drive, and without his organization and coordination, other players are also misfiring.

Before we knew it, halfway through the first quarter, the 76ers trailed by 8 points.

Seeing this, many fans couldn't help but sigh.

This seems to be a replica of the previous three games. The 76ers have always been at a disadvantage. It seems that the 8-point difference is not very exaggerated. After all, this is the first quarter. However, when there is a big gap between the strengths of the two sides, for the weaker side, the hole will only get bigger and bigger, and in the end it will not be able to be filled.

"beep......"

Coach Luke called a timeout and said, "Qin, you come down to rest, put on..."

"Coach." Qin Hao said hurriedly, his eyes resolute, "I want to continue playing."

The teammates all looked at Qin Hao, Coach Luke frowned, pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, you continue to play. Speights, Iverson, you two come down and rest. Mozkov, Lu Wei , you guys, pay attention to protect the rebounds, Lu Wei, you have to attack more and play more proactively."

After some arrangement, the game continued.

Qin Hao walked onto the court and looked at the basket opposite. He took a deep breath, clenched and loosened his fists, and whispered to himself, "I can only gamble."
